He was born in the city of Mecca from the tribe of Bani Adi One family which is among the Quraysh tribe, the tribe's biggest city of Mecca. His father Al Khattab bin Nufail Shimh Al Quraisyi And his mother Hantamah binti Bani Hashim. He was named the Prophet Muhammad Faruq sebagyai Which means that can separate between truth and falsehood. Family Umar classified as Middle Class Families Who can read and write and in those days is something rare.
He was a very powerful and astute man even before he became muslim! He was very blunt in his words and stood firmly for what he believed in. He was the second caliph of Islam after Hazrat Abu Bakr R.A and He was one of those companions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH gave the good news of paradise in the lifetime. The story of his life and how he became Muslim is truly a remarkable story.
After he became a Muslim he was one the closest companions of the Prophet (saw). Hadhrat Umar Ibn Al-Khattab had many sayings and all of which can be appropriate to anyone at anytime.
Hazrat Umar R.A was so caring and thoughtful of other people needs that during the time of famine and drought he would not eat food and suffice himself with half dates even when his stomach would rumble by saying that “Rumble as much as you want, for indeed, I will feed you nothing other than this until the situation of the people improves.”
One Friday Umar R.A was late to come for Friday prayer and people were waiting for him to come and give Friday sermon. When he finally arrived, first he apologized with the people for coming late and later told that the reason for being late is that the clothes which I am wearing was in the process of cleansing and I have only one cloth.
That's some story of Umar bin khatab, someone I respect him.
